Plex family feature with Emby client ?

[vincen 71]

Hi

Is there a way in the Android app for Emby to get a multi user system easily ? Right now I tried to add 2 accounts but as they are on same Emby server it overwrites the first account setup by the second one I setup after

In Plex with the Family feature you can add some accounts in a house and then if one user logs in it has to select user and type a pin code making it easy after to switch between members of the house.

Thanks

Emby is designed to be multi-user environment - how are you creating those users?

Not currently. You can lend your support here:

I create them straight in the server Management interface. There is an other way to create them ?

Are you actually talking about linking users to an Emby Connect email?

Users in your server will not "overwrite" each other.   Exactly what is happening?

Nope I had done that first but then someone told me that it was not supported to get multiple Emby connect accounts connected in a same Emby player (Android stick). I then removed all accounts in app, then added first one indicating server url, login/passwd and then once logged went to add a second account (on same Emby server) and then first account setup has disappeared

Hi, what do you mean by disappeared?

In the user configuration on the server, is the option to hide the user from login screens selected?  You probably just want to check the third option - hide this user from login screens on devices they have not authenticated.
